Neural avatars come to the World Cup. The New York Times uses our ICON method to create 3D football players from video. Congratulations Yuliang Xiu, Jinlong Yang, and Dimitris Tzionas Check out ICON at huggingface.co/spaces/Yuliang…

via The New York Times more nice 3d visualizations of the World Cup using ICON to reconstruct the players. Sadly, this time they captured the goal that lost Canada the game. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Very nice use of ICON, showing how 3D humans can be inferred from a single image, placed in a scene, and rendered from new camera views. Exciting to see The New York Times is pushing the technology.

The most fun use of #ICON by the The New York Times so far is to reconstruct the all-important German goal against Spain last night in the #WorldCup2022. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
